ADO.NET Provider for Sage 200

Build 24.0.8963

Automatically Caching Data

Automatically caching data is useful when you do not want to rebuild the cache for each query. When you query data for the first time, the provider automatically initializes and builds a cache in the background. When AutoCache = true, the provider uses the cache for subsequent query executions, resulting in faster response times.

Configuring Automatic Caching

Caching the Banks Table

The following example caches the Banks table in the file specified by the CacheLocation property of the connection string.

C#

String connectionString = "Cache Location=C:\\cache.db;AutoCache=true;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK";
using (Sage200Connection connection = new Sage200Connection(connectionString)) {
  Sage200Command cmd = new Sage200Command("SELECT Id, Code FROM Banks WHERE Description = 'Bob'", connection);
  Sage200DataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
  while (rdr.Read()) {
    Console.WriteLine("Read and cached the row with Id " + rdr["Id"]);
  }
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "Cache Location=C:\\cache.db;AutoCache=true;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK"
Using connection As New Sage200Connection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New Sage200Command("SELECT Id, Code FROM Banks WHERE Description = 'Bob'", connection)
  Dim rdr As Sage200DataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
  While rdr.Read()
	  Console.WriteLine("Read and cached the row with Id " + rdr("Id"))
  End While
End Using

Common Use Case

A common use for automatically caching data is to improve driver performance when making repeated requests to a live data source, such as building a report or creating a visualization. With auto caching enabled, repeated requests to the same data may be executed in a short period of time, but within an allowable tolerance (CacheTolerance) of what is considered "live" data.
